Annual accounts provide shareholders, investors and relevant authorities with a view of a company’s financial position. UK limited companies generally file annual accounts with Companies House, including dormant companies, subject to applicable exemptions. Late or inaccurate filings can have financial and reputational consequences.
Accusolve is an AAT AML-supervised UK accountancy practice. We review your records, prepare statutory accounts and coordinate related HMRC submissions according to your company’s status and any notice to deliver.
Our annual accounts support covers preparation, review and filing:
Depending on your company, we may need accounting records, business bank statements, sales invoices, purchase and expense records, payroll and VAT records where applicable, previous accounts or Corporation Tax returns, and details of material year-end transactions.
The former joint HMRC/Companies House online filing service closed on 31 March 2026. From 1 April 2026, Company Tax Returns generally need commercial software, except in limited permitted paper-filing circumstances. Companies House accounts retain their own supported filing routes, depending on accounts type. See the GOV.UK filing-service closure guidance. Accusolve can coordinate the accounts and tax work that applies to your company.
For a typical private limited company, Companies House accounts are normally due 9 months after the financial year end. A Company Tax Return is normally due 12 months after the Corporation Tax accounting period ends. First accounts and changed accounting periods can have different deadlines. See GOV.UK accounts and tax return deadlines.
Corporation Tax payment is normally due 9 months and 1 day after the Corporation Tax accounting period ends for companies outside instalment-payment rules. Different rules can apply, including to larger-profit companies; see GOV.UK Corporation Tax payment guidance. We help identify the deadlines relevant to your company.
| Task | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annual accounts | Statutory financial statements and the applicable Companies House accounts filing. The Company Tax Return is a separate submission. |
| Company Tax Return / CT600 | HMRC's return package, including relevant accounts and tax computations. Payment and return deadlines are separate. |
| Dormant accounts | Companies House accounts for an eligible dormant company. HMRC dormancy and any notice to deliver a tax return must be checked separately. |
| Confirmation statement | A check of company information on the register, rather than a set of accounts or a tax return. It remains a separate obligation for dormant companies. |
Send the company details, period, known deadline and any HMRC or Companies House notice with your enquiry. We can identify the relevant filing work and agree each part of the scope.
Tell us your company status, accounting period, bookkeeping condition and whether Corporation Tax or other filings are also required. We review the records and deadline before agreeing the work.
Your quote should identify the services and period covered, reporting frequency where relevant, the fee and VAT treatment, and any exclusions or third-party charges. Bookkeeping catch-up, earlier-period corrections and additional advice are agreed separately unless included. Confirm the scope and your responsibilities before instructing us.
Accusolve Accountants prepare annual accounts for Companies House and support related HMRC filings where the company’s status and any notice to deliver require them.
